Colour change following Export from LR

Hi. I am adjusting my raw images in LR and exporting in jpeg for use on Epson P2000 viewer. However, the images exported and viewed in PS2000 are bland and not reflecting the original LR developed images. I have tried exporting using the various colour spaces but do not see any difference between these. When the original camera raw images are loaded and viewed on the P2000 (jpeg attached file), the colours are OK. What is the likely cause and solution, please?

Thanks, Pierre, and Boyd, for your responses.
I originally noted the difference between the LR on screen image and that of the image exported to the desk top, particularly with red appearing orange.
Having noted Pierre's remark about monitor calibration, and not understanding why I should be presented with two different colour images on the same monitor I decided to try re-calibrating the monitor (not done since a complete new PC set up a few months ago, although the same monitor is in use).
I noticed images were now more closely matched (LR on screen image, with desk top image) so then exported direct to the PS2000 using the same image with each one of the different colour spaces for comparison. I found ProPhoto RGB drab (orange), Adobe RGB(1998) a little brighter, with sRGB providing the best and nearest rendition to the LR developed image. Also, when comparing colours in the original raw with the LR exported sRGB image there was a much closer match.
It would appear that calibration (and profile) is the key (and presumably how each piece of equipment interprets the colours (working colour space?).
I am new to this aspect of colour rendition so possibly not yet fully understanding it but hopefully I am now moving in the reight direction.
As an added point, I have to say that LR is an excellent piece of software and one that has won me over in more ways than one. Thank you Adobe.
I hope my experience and comment are of assistance in some way to Boyd and others. A useful site I found was http://epaperpress.com/monitorcal/

  • Color change after exporting from Lightroom

    I noticed a drastic color change after exporting a file from Lightroom to a JPEG file today. I have been using Lightroom for a while, and it never happened before. I am assuming that I changed the setting somehow and I cannot find how to fix it.
    Here is the original.
    After exporting to a JPEG. The color is so drastically different. I tried both sRGB and AdobeRGB and they turn out to have the same problem.
    It is not as clear as JPEG files, but edited files with Photoshop CS5 also looks slightly different viewed on Lightroom.
    I would appreciate it if anyone could help me.  Thank you so much for your help!

    Thanks everyone for looking into my problem!
    >Can you upload a sample of each
    >* Raw File
    >* XMP Sidecar
    >* Exported JPEG
    I somehow can't find XMP sidecar files in my folders.... So instead, I exported the JPEG file to the 2nd JPEG file, hoping you can compare those two JPEG files.
    The colors get lighter and lighter every time I export the files. I uploaded those files (RAW, 1st JPEG, 2nd JPEG) on line. I also changed the file samples from the original post because I can't add watermarks.
    I checked my flles, but there is no preset applied to the JPEGs.
    I am thinking of unistallng Lightroom and reinstalling it and see what happens.
    Thanks!

  • Why do colours change when converting from Word to PDF

    I am converting word files to pdf, however the header and footer background colours change once converted. How can I stop this happening?

    Depends on how you are creating the PDF. If you are using PDF Maker (the create PDF button), then check the preferences in that menu. There is an entry for the settings file selected. If you are printing to the Adobe PDF printer, the settings file is listed under the settings tab of the properties menu.

  • Format changing when exporting from InDesign to PDF

    I am using Acrobat 8 version 8.1.2, and InDesign version 5.0.2.
    I am noticing a very specific problem when exporting some files to PDF from InDesign.
    We often have a format where we have a numbered list of right-aligned number, followed by some text, a leader line, and then another number at the end of the line. This is set up with a left indent and a first line left indent (rather than using the numbered list options), and then the necessary tabs later in the lines.
    I am finding since we switched to IDCS3, that when I export to PDF, lines containing this format change in the PDF. The text that appears after the number in the front of the line is pushed over on top of the leader line, leaving a huge white space. On rarer occasions, it will move things in lines that have no indents, but contain tabs that aren't being used.
    I have been able to get the files to export correctly by removing the left indent and first-line left indent and using tabs instead (or by removing unused tabs). But we have hundreds of files set up in this manner so going in and changing how they are all set up is problematic to say the least.
    Is this a known issue? Does anyone know why this might happen and how I can prevent it?

    I haven't tried printing to PDF. I will try that and see what happens. Unfortunetly, where I work we are required to export to PDF rather than print to PDF, so if it works it will only be a clue for me rather than a solution.
    Thanks for the reply. I'll try a cross post to the InDesign forms.

  • Color change on exporting from lightroom and saving in Photoshop CS5

    I have been having issues with my pictures with color management.    I have Lightroom 4 and Photoshop CS5.  I thought over the last 2 years that it was just me.   I have bought a Eizo monitor with a hood, calibrate with a i1display pro, painted my walls gray, updated my strobes from alien bees to elinchrome bxri's.   Updated my sekonic meter to a L 758.   Have done custom white balance with gray card, expodisc, xrite kits.   The problem has been over the years when I work on a picture in lightroom and export it as jpeg or adobe rgb it gets saved to my external hardrive and the colors are really bad !!   You can go back and compare the picture in lightroom to the picture on my iomega external drive and there is a significant difference.   I do some animal photography and I had a dog that had brown fur and when I export it out of lightroom the dogs fur is actually a bright very orange color.  Same thing happens with skin tones.     When I import the photos into lightroom the pictures look ok.       The same thing is happening when I go from lightroom to photoshop the picture color looks good but when I go to File-save as - tiff or jpeg the colors are changing.   It does not matter what color space I am in I have tried them all it is still happening.    If anyone has any insight that would be great.

             Thanks everyone for the help.   I have only been doing photography for about 2 years and the color managment part has been my hardest thing to get right.   My monitor ColorEdge CG243W LCD.   Wide color gamut of 98%.  Has a sensor on front of monitor that detects ambient brightness but this will only work if you are in a custom color mode.  Modes are: custom,  sRGB,DCI,EBU, Cal1.   I use the Cal 1 to be able to use the Colornavigator software that came with the monitor.  You also have to be in custom color mode to be able to manually adjust brightness, contrast, temperature on the monitr itself which I do not use because I use the Cal 1 mode.   I was not sure about the digital input signals.   I am on the DVI-I in which this allows digital signal input and analog signal input.    There is a DVI-D mode that allows only digital input only.    Also did not know if I needed to be concerned about setting the frequency that corresponds to the grahic board in the monitor ?    My bandwith was set to normal and now is on wide.   My digital input is for 1920x1200 resolution.   Appicable signal is Vesa CVT RB.  Frequency is 60 Hz.   Yes I did call Eizo twice last year when I got my monitor and did not get very far.     I have also called and spoke to a color specialist at my lab and told him the problems I have been having and he just told me to leave everything in sRGB.   Well I would like to get the most from my monitor's color gamut and when working on my pictures so that is why I am still determined to get this figured out.  
    I use the i1 Dislpay Pro hardware to calibrate with and the ColorNavigator software.     When calibrating.   I go to create a new target---select enter manually--Gamut ( monitor native--states recommended)--Brightness 100cd---White point (6500k)--set black level (recommemded states mininum 0.2)---gamma 2.20---priority (set automatically to standard, this adjusts gray balance while maintaining the contrast)---then I hit calibrate and it goes through the process.   The results I get are:                                            Target                                               Result
                          Brightness                                        100cd                                              99.9cd
                           Black Level                                    minimum                                       0.15cd

  • Colour changing upon export problem.

    Hi.
    I'm working on a game at the moment, and I'm running into a problem. I was testing the vector files that I export of the art I made, and upon re-importation to flash the colours have changed significantly. Then, when the game is running in a browser, it looks different again. It even looks different between different browsers. What am I doing wrong?
    Thanks in Advance.

  • Colour changes on export

    I have graded all my footage in muticam angle viewer, and it previews fine in the timeline. When I export I get occasional angles which are the original ungraded colour, for no reason.
    I have tried deleting all the render files, removing all colour effect from all the clips, and then re-applying via paste attributes, but it is still not exporting correctly.
    I have also tried exporting to h.264 and Prores, with no difference.
    Please help me!

    Final cut pro 10.1.2 Update - Color Correction / Grading Not Exporting

  • File number is changed on export from lightroom

    using lightroom 4.3...  when I edit a group of photos in lightroom, most of the files will only be edited in lightroom but a few will also be opend into PS6 (by right clicking > edit in>...) Once the PS edits are complete the image is saved & I return to Lightroom.  When I export the entire group of images - I set the file name to 'custom name - original file number'.  The images I edited in lightroom only - all are renamed as expected (ie wedding photo-1234, wedding photo-1235...).  The images I edited in both lightroom & photoshop receive the custom name but lose their file name (ie wedding photo-, wedding photo-1, wedding photo-2, etc.)  When viewing these PS edited images in lightroom - they do show the file #, it is only after export that the file # is lost..
    Previous versions of lightroom / PS did not have this problem for me.
    I wish to maintain the file names for all of the images, help?!?

    Thanks Brett, yes - when I open the photo in PS, the file name has changed from i.e. _MG_5720.CR2 to _MG_5720-2. I save the image & go back to lightroom, the image is now called _MG_5720-edit.tiff.  When I export, (and in the export settings I rename to custom name - file name) the file now becomes wedding photo--.  In previous versions of the software - the file name would have exported as wedding photo-5720-edit.
    Can you please explain how I can   check how the file names are being changed and see if I can make it so any changes to the name occur before numbers.
    Many thanks, Anne

  • PDF Ink Limit change on Export From ID

    Hi
    I am having an issue where ink limits on an exported PDF do not match the limits in PS and ID.
    I am using a Europe ISO Coated FOGRA27 working space in all applications with colour managment policies set to "Off".
    Iink limits in ID are fine (max of say 298), same in PS but after exporting to PDF the ink coverage goes above 300%.
    Output settings are set to:
    Colour Conversion: Convert to Destination (preserve numbers)
    Destination: Working CMYK - Europe ISO Coated FOGRA27
    PDF/X: Output intent Profile Name: Working CMYK - Europe ISO Coated FOGRA27
    Where am I going wrong?

    At the moment I am simply performing a test with one image on a blank page. The parts that are showing are the darkest areas e.g. black table legs etc. I have thoroughly gone over the exact pixels with the eye dropper in PS and the max ink limit on the problem pixels (according to Acrobat) have 297% coverage at most.
    I am totaly aware that the ink limit preview is just that....it alerts me to any pixels that are over the specified limit. That is kind of my point. It shows no pixels are over 300% coverage, yet after I export the file and use the output preview screen in Acrobat, the ink limit preview shows the limit to now be over 300%.
    No transparency or effects are being used.
    To summarise:
    InDesign - Ink limit below 300%
    Acrobat - Ink limit above 300%
    Photoshop - Ink Limit below 300% on areas that Acrobat says are over 300%

  • Colour shift when exporting from lightroom 5 into Photoshop CS6

    Hi there,
    Having a really weird problem in Lightroom/Photoshop that no amount of Googling can seem to fix.
    When I grade an image for colour in lightroom, and then use the "edit in" function to send the file to Photoshop, the file is a completely different colour.
    Here's an example:
    I'm using SRGB for both Lightroom and Photoshop, and the "preserve embedded profiles" is selected for RGB, CMYK, and gray.
    If anyone can shed some light on this, it would be great. I don't want to have to use ProPhotoRGB, because most of my work is delivered online.
    Thanks in advance
    John

    I am also having this issue with the "Merge to HDR Pro" function in both LR5.2 and PSCC. When the image is viewed at 50% image size in the HDR app everything appears fine. However, once you start to zoom in the image begins to crop out segements starting on the right hand side. See the screen shots below:
    Image at 50%
    Image at 66%
    Image at 100%

  • Colors change after exporting from 5.2 upgrade

    I did not have this problem prior to upgrading to Lightroom 5.2
    I import .jpg photos into lightroom, adjust brighness and colors, export photos. All of the exported photos have odd colors. Blue skies are too purple. Warm woods are shifted greenish. The new photos are unusable because the colors are so distorted. It looks like the hue is shifted but I cannot be sure.

  • Colour change in identically exported PDFs: InDesign CS5 to CS6

    Artwork turns out with a greener hue in a PDF Print document exported using InDesign CS6 trial software that has ruined a whole print run.
    This catalogue has been printed in past years using CS4 and CS5 software, each time the colours in the exported PDF proof, PDF Print file and InDesign files being accurate and matching perfectly.
    This time I used a trial of InDesign CS6 - Importing the same mother file as previous years and working on the document. When exporting the document however, despite using identical settings to export PDF files in the past, the exported PDFs turn out with a greener hue than the previous CS5 PDFs. I trialed a few different kinds of colour conversions in the PDF export window (i.e. 'no conversion' to 'convert to destination - RGB') just to see what happened -  and all turned out with the same result. The colour change is small but this was exxaggerated at print and as a result the colours
    looked drastically different from the catalogue the year before. Printing aside, (as it's a whole other ballgame), it came down to this slight PDF colour change.
    I'm wondering if anyone can help explain this - does CS6 handle colour exporting differently to CS5?

    Hi Eugene,
    Looking up the settings, they say the following:
    InDesign CS5: Unsynchronised "settings are not synchronised for consistent colour"  (odd; CS5 version is where the file exported with accurate colours)
    InDesign CS6: Synchronised "using the same colour settings for consistent colour management"   (CS6 version exported with a colour change)
    Another thing I've realised that might be an issue:
    The product images are still in RGB format (supplied by the photographer), where everything else in the artwork is in CMYK format. I've run a test export where I've converted everything to CMYK and exported it to a PDF.
    The results:
    InDesign CS5: Same colours consistently on both PDFs with RGB images and with all CMYK images.
    InDesign CS6: Green hue across PDF with RGB images in it, Correct colours in PDF with all CMYK images.
    So is this where the problem lies? The CS6 software having Synchronised colour settings shows a colour change when RGB photos are exported to PDF?
    Let me know your thoughts...

  • Colour correction for H.264/YouTube export from premier pro cc, help.

    Hi, I am just finishing up a project that I put together in Premier Pro CC and SpeedGrade. I did a little test export, as it's for YouTube I used H.264. On looking at it afterwards it looked washed out with the blacks losing there depth, the saturation dropping and a loss of contrast. I tried checking on a few monitors and then tried uploading a piece to YouTube and it looks the same across the monitors and the same on YouTube this washed out drab change. So I tried reimporting the export back into Premier Pro and it looks fine in Premier Pro and SpeedGrade. I can go back and push my blacks and whites but it'll have to beyond 0 and 100 to get my contrast back and it feels wrong using the scopes like this. Dose anyone know what I might be doing wrong?

    Yes that's how I'm working. In Premier Pro CC and using the direct link to SpeedGrade then back to Premier Pro and exporting from there. I'm not sure you even can export from SG if you use the direct link from PP. I'm unsure now if it's the H.264 to blame, I tried a few other's and they also look washed out. At present I'm having to go over my old grade, that took days, adding more contrast and saturation seeing if I can get an acceptable image when I export.
    I have tried AVI uncompressed, a few flavours of H.264 including some of the pre set ones like the YouTube ones and some image sequence's. The JPEG sequence was fine, same colours and contrast as within Adobe but all the H.264 and the AVI were washed out no matter what setting I put them on.
    In the picture below you can see from the left first a waveform then the image in SpeedGrade with the scopes showing the blacks well below 0, next the same image back in PremierPro, then the exported H.246 file.
    and here are the settings.

    Okay everybody...so I'm on the struggle bus so I'm going from Photoshop cs6 off my old broken laptop to trying to dwn Photoshop Cs2...either way I love PS. Now when I tried downloading it for free from Adobe...succeeded...but when I went to the download folder to install it, it said "Do you want to allow the following program from an unknown publisher to make changes to this computer?" I mean....what would you do? Is it safe to click yes....(Don Don Don...*sound effect*)..please help...

    If you already have a license for photoshop cs6, why do you want photoshop cs2?
    You can just install photoshop cs6 on your new computer provided both operating systems are the same kind (both mac or both windows)
    If you don't have an install dvd for cs6, you can download photoshop cs6 from here and use your serial:
